racism sucks

[sev_zeytun]

well i had been training to run inthe LA marathon with my friend for a long time. we would run anywhere from 8 to 20 miles a day depending on how much time we had. during that time i had gotten very dark (dark orange) compared to my natural white skincolor. anyway, this american kid comes up to me and says "GO HOME B****" and then goes to my friend and says "OHH no sorry not you" because she was blonde and very white. even though i am not middle eastern i found this very offensive and i do not think it is right that americans treat middle eastern people this way.

this event has been haunting me for a long time and i just wanted to talk about it and take its weight off of my shoulders.

Սեւ Զէյթուն, շատ տխուր կը սկամ որ ապուշ մարդ մը ասանկ ըրաւ, եւ չի տարբերիր եթէ Միջին Առեւելքէն էիր կամ չէիր: Ինչո՞ւ իրեն բան մը չըսիր: Ըսէիր ինչ քան ամօթ էր որ ինքը ատանկ բան մը ըրաւ:

Ուրիշ խօսք- Չես հաւատար: Ես ալ աւելի ճերմակ մորթ ունէի, բայց աւելի մութ դառցաւ իմ լողալէս: Կը տեսնեմ որ իմ թելադրութիւնս առիր որ ինչպէս հայերէնի մէջ մեքենագրես համակարգիչիդ վրայ, չէ՞:

Sev Zeytun, I feel very sad that a stupid man did this, and it doesn't matter whether you were from the Middle East or not! Why didn't you say anything to him? You should've said how shameful it was that he did something like that.

Off topic: You won't believe it. I also had whiter skin, but it turned darker from swimming. I see that you took my suggestion on how to type in Armenian on your computer, right?

Re: racism sucks

The most ridiculous thing is that there are Armenians who do such stuff. The easiest way to deal with these insects is to execute 4 of those KKK's in public and we will see if anyone does the same again.

Կամ կրնաս միջատին նախատես եւ բարկութեամբ ցցնես ինչ քան ապուշ է որ այդ տեսակ բաներ ըսէ:

Or you can insult the bug and angrily show him/her how stupid he/she is to say those kinds of things!

Re: racism sucks

i know that i should have at least said something but the conditions were very bad that day. it was one of our hardest runs. we ran 10 miles upill at about 35 degrees (angle wise) and when the kid said what he said we were only 1/2 a mile from my house. the kid had a skateboard and by the time it took me to register what he had said he had zoomed past us. i was too exhausted so i was unable to catch up to him. i feel upset that i did not say anything because i know that i should have.

also, i am grateful for the armenian typing stuff. it's very cool. Շատ շընորակալ էմ:

Հա, ատոր համար չէիր կրնար բան մը ըսել իր սխալ խօսքին համար: Բայց պզտիկ էր ի՞նչ էր:

Oh, that's why you couldn't say something for his wrong words. But, was he a kid or what?

Re: racism sucks

he looked about 18 years old so i wouldn't really call him an adult yet but he's at the age where he should know what he is doing and at least show some respect towards other people no matter how old they are, what ethnic background they are from, or what they believe in.

Ես ալ նոյն բանը կը սկամ: Բայց դժբախտաբար, շատ ժամանակ պիտի տեւէ որ մարդիկ մեզի պէս սկան:

I feel the same way. But unfortunately, it's going to take a long time for people to feel like us.

Just keep your head up, i went through a lot of racist comments, always took it with a smile and moved on.
